heh

I've been making AOSP ROMs for quite some time now and I will most likely continue to make them for as long as possible, just because I'm not in the business of making rip offs of other ROMs despite what some people may think it does not mean that I have stopped cooking.

I have a very specific path that I am taking for Oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] Audioboxer:
:D

The only cooker better than you is Walter H. White.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I think some people get upset when there's not updates every 2-3 days ;) But of course as you say there is a good reason why they are all updated so regularly - because they are all based on the same rom....

It's nice that we get something different!
[Desire Android Development] kimzplaze:
I am using a 2.0.2 beta build with no problems :)

Thanks.. but I wonder if there is a changelog or revision log for the release candidates :p
[Desire Android Development] feueri:
is the bootloop fix being implemented on 2.0.2 beta ?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
There isn't because they aren't public releases. The people who were intended to use them will know what the differences are but its never going to be public.

2.0.2 seems good to me so far, but it can take long runtimes for the bigger bugs to show up.

I assume that's what is taking so long for 2.0.2 as for every fix they try they have to run for a week to test etc.

If you aren't into testing then I simply suggest you dont use the test versions.

[Desire Android Development] Zobat:
10 points for you

thnx adam!

yoyoyo, now bounce y'all !!
[Desire Android Development] JuzzyDee:
I whipped together a flashable zip for the fix that appeared on the gooogle code page. I've had it appplied for a few days now with no random reboots and seemingly causing no other issues, though i'm yet to find a satisfactory understanding of what the purpose of collecting the time in state is and what the process reading it causing the exception does. If anyone could answer that I would be very happy.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
So this just blocks the process from reading time_in_state then?

Sounds good :) But will probably wait and see what 2.0.2 brings which AFAIK should be a more comprehesive fix (allows the time_in_state file to go larger, hence not clipping data and causing the exception). That's my understanding at least.

M.
[Desire Android Development] JuzzyDee:
Indeed. That was the fix posted here:

code.google.com/p/oxygen-rom/issues/detail?id=507#c74

Basically on boot the file permission was reset, so they came up with the idea of putting a startup script in place to change it back. I was reallllly suffering from the bootloops. Every few hours, I went to another rom with the intention of coming back to oxygen when it was fixed, saw the fix and thought I would give it another try. I mentioned in the Q&A thread that I took the patch off doing some testing this morning and had a problem within an hour going from periods of very high to very low load and everything in between. Since reapplying I have been up for about 8 hours, and was up for about 30 before taking it off to test.

I'm looking forward to the official patch that fixes it, cause i'm unsure what functionality I have lost, but i'm sure it's worthwhile having, but I got the random boots so frequently this is the only thing that makes the rom usable in the meantime, and it's too awesome to go with something else :P

I have noticed one strange bug. Whenever i record a video in portrait mode, i have to play it in landscape to get the proper aspect ratio. However, the video is tilted as it was recorded in portrait mode :/

Anyone else noticed this? Specs are in my signature.

[Desire Android Development] orenmizr:
can someone help in this matter?
[Desire Android Development] TeamPCB:
You install a new kernel via recovery... like you would with any other update (zip from SD card). To my knowledge there are no patched thalamus kernels, but I have read about couts99 kernels with the appropriate patch. To use call recording, you would additionally install an app from the market. Your carrier can't detect or prevent that you are using call recording.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] tommo123:
li'm hoping for a patched kernel too. been waiting for call recording for ages
[Desire Android Development] kusic:
Actually about bootloops.

I did have those. Two times and had motherboard replaced. Twice. Motherboard in Desire is kind of overheating and gets heat-degraded in time.

It is kind of design fail. (In HTC service, I was adviced not to charge the phone while using intensive apps)

But now it is working and I did not have any bootloop at all. Not even once. All the time on Oxygen.

Only 2 sec call delay. Except this, 100% satisfaction.
[Desire Android Development] gutsbn:
Very true.

Do it properly, or do it over?

One only has to look the version-per-day of other ROMs: feature in, feature out, regression here, rollback there.
[Desire Android Development] JuzzyDee:
That is probably more of a coincidence than anything. I'd say the issue has been isolated with a fair degree of certainty now, and the explanation of the issue makes sense, as I normally got bootloops during intense CPU usage periods when the frequency would have scaled right up, or during prolonged periods of idle after periods of heavy use when it would have scaled right down again. If I was only lightly using the phone and doing it semi constant, no bootloop.

That and apart from having to reboot because my launcher started acting out, I havent had any interruption to uptime since changing permissions on the file to prevent the states being written.
[Desire Android Development] mliou:
Change track with long hold of volume button

For those of you wanting the function of long hold volume button to change track, I've found an alternative to get it. I've used PlayerPro and it comes with this function (under settings --> lock screen). I'm using 2.0.1 and it works.

ps. it has DSP addon, which is a plus for music lovers
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
This can be an explanation but it's not the only one. I got a bootloop while the phone was in standby for several hours. And the only thinged was swiching from wifi to 2G and some hours later back to wifi. And the phone was cold at that time.
[Desire Android Development] l0nEr:
Hi. When you replaced your motherboard, did you reflash the Stock Rom to hide that you have rooted your phone? Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] JuzzyDee:
Sorry, rereading my response its somewhat fragmented and unclear. The devs have isolated the problem and its nothing to do with overheating. Its when the CPU scales more than 20 steps, the process that reads the file where the time in each state is stored throws an exception and that exception results in a bootloop. Nothing to do with I overheating for the vast majority of people experiencing the problem.
[Desire Android Development] kusic:
Sorry my fault
[Desire Android Development] kusic:
Yes I unrooted to be safe.

How can I put A2SD+ script like in leedroid? With same apps I still had 64mb of free internal memory (in which I could install a ton of other apps) but on oxyen app2sd script I can't even install all of the apps cause I don't have enough space.

I don't want to flash other hboots cause I don't use oxygen all the time, I use sense roms as well. How can I move dalvik cache to sd?
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
A minute of searching the thread should do the trick ;-)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11688173&postcount=65

...don't know if it works though.

Besides, those questions definately DO NOT belong here.

Try in the FAQ-Thread
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
If you want to experiment you could just take a nandroid of your current setup, replace the a2sd script in init.d with that from leedroid and do a full wipe/new install. I have no idea of the implications, but prior light reading indicates it "should" work.

No idea why so many people have problems with a2sd either :/ still have easily 60mb left of internal, with dalvik NOT moved to SD... have about 100mb of a2sd used.
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
I'm still running 2.0 RC7 version of the rom and have noticed in the last 2 weeks more frequent bootloops occuring. Now, I'm not complaining about them because I'm fully aware they're present. Before I used to get one say every 3 days, now it's pushing nearly once a night, sometimes every second. Just more curious as to what could be causing the sudden increase?

Might try and just put up with it for a fraction longer until 2.0.2 is released, providing it's not far off.
[Desire Android Development] prodygee:
Sounds like tue HTC Desire bootloop problem. Call customer service, it needs a repair. I've had the same problem last year.
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
Well, i tried replacing the a2sd script from leedroid but now if doesnt move apps at all, its like im not having an ext partition at all. If i replace the hboot with the oxygen one will i be able to use other roms as well, like leedroid and so on?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Ah bugger, well at least we know it doesn't work now lol.

Oxygen hboot is ok for some if the aosp roms but not for sense ones like leedroid.
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
I also want to report that the ROM is a bit laggy :|

IDK why, but I think even Sense ROMs were faster. Scrolling screens and browsing is definitely laggyer then it was on Leedroid. Do you guys experience this as well?
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Well i guess it's more than ok at this stage of development...
[Desire Android Development] matt95:
welll,i've also had the lee before this...but the lee without overclock was a bit slower...this is ok...it's faster for me...and i don't have any bugs....
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I think half the reason so many people have problems is that there are so many roms out there that people are changing between constantly and people aren't preparing their phones properly.

For people that do flash the oxygen hboot, are careful about what data they restore and all that - I seem to read less about these people having problems.

Then you get the people who change roms daily, flash it as quick as possible and then we get all these posts from first time users with all sorts of different problems..

In some respects I wish it were harder to flash a rom, would probably make people think things through a bit more.

M.
[Desire Android Development] matt95:
absolutely right....
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
I switched from leedroid after months of usage cause I am tired of HTC Sense. I told myself if I don't want sense, then I should get a ROM with gingerbread. So here I am. I know how to flash ROMs, I am doing everything all right, I'm just whining about the storage. I used the dalvik-cache2sd script and it seems to work (i had more internal memory since I booted, comparing to last time) but now titanium can't restore backups. It starts restoring but its stuck at 1st app.

I wiped absolutely everything before flashing (all user data, cache partition, dalvik cache). I can't belive an aosp ROM has such issues. I'm gonna give it another shot and if its not working im back to leedroid.
[Desire Android Development] howdid:
update busybox
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
Only get the bootloops with the Oxygen GB rom, never had them with Froyo or Oxygen 1.4. So I think it's more down to the rom than the actual phone itself. Which again, I'm not complaining about and full well understand is part of all GB roms out and a google issue. Was just more curious about the increase in regularity they were happening.

I soft reset my phone this evening, I'll see how long it lasts before next bootloop. Given I keep phone on all night etc.
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Funny , because you're the only one having this issue. So, its not the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] CrazyMcCool:
I am not able to connect to a ptpp VPN connection..I tried to reboot, factory reset everything...anyone else getting this issue? thanks :)

SORRY Stupid question...Would delete but I cant...sorry..
[Desire Android Development] TeamPCB:
Kindly pointing you to the third post in this thread.
[Desire Android Development] CrazyMcCool:
Yeah I just noticed it! I was about to delete this post haha

thank you!
[Desire Android Development] qwertylesh:
it is a problem with the rom (but not soley the roms fault, it has to do with the droid build on our hardware, any GB rom on a desire is affected), its still unexplained what the cause is but some users have noted it seems to happen more frequently just as you put your handset on charge.

Ive had the bootloop on all the ginger builds ive tried, i even had it not occur for 3 months and then just start occurring again, theres nothin we can do until its worked out and solved.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
I don't want to disappoint you, but even Nexus One and Nexus S users are suffering from the bootloops. So I wouldn't say it's the ROMs fault (or even the phone's) but Gingerbread in general.

Interesting. How can you get a 3 months gap when Gingerbread has been released only 3 months ago?
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
Ok, after another complete wipe and reflash, I managed to move dalvik cache to sd and restore a titanium backup. But the ROM still feels laggy and I am frequently getting CPU alerts that "android core apps" is using more more then 40% (running in the background). Do you get this as well?

com.rosedata.android.res also uses 20% sometimes

What are these?
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
rosedata sounds like a Sense framework. DO NOT restore ANY system settings or sense apps.
[Desire Android Development] Semicuda:
Even better: don't use Titanium Backup at all when switching ROMs. I get the distinct feeling that 90% of people complaining about some weird problems are also using TB to restore apps and stuff from non-AOSP ROMs.

Just use AppBrain to keep track of which apps you had installed on your old ROM, the amount of apps where it is really worth to back up the data is pretty small (IMHO)...
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
I've been using titanium backup since the 1st day I rooted my phone (months, months ago) and I never had any issues. I always restored only user apps+data but on this ROM it seems that it sees system apps that I backed up from leedroid as well. But I didn't restore them, I only restored user apps, there's no mistake.

Do you guys experience lags as well? Do any of you use launcher pro?

Edit: I meant to say that some system apps from leedroid are seen as user apps here, maybe a GB issue that titanium backup has to fix?

And I didn't restore any of the system apps btw, I am positive. What other things could cause me such lag? I meant its not like its incredibly laggy but not very responsive, its like it responds after 1 sec after I touch the screen.
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
There's nothing wrong with titanium backup, I've used it for as long as I've been rooted. As long as you stick to restoring market apps, you will not run into any problems.

Issues only exist when people try to restore system settings between roms/versions.
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Well, com.rosedata IS part of Sense, so you obviously did restore more than just user apps. Don't do that.
[Desire Android Development] lvnatic:
but is anyone running 2.0.1 with launcher pro smoothly?
[Desire Android Development] Semicuda:
I used to use it... ran pretty smooth if you turned off the 3D drawer.
[Desire Android Development] Kalavere:
Perfectly smooth, like Semicuda said the only bug is the 3D app drawer. What are your issues?
[Desire Android Development] Dangry:
so far so good.......

I use Launcher pro and I have no complaints. I do get issues once in a great while when I reboot but besides that it runs smooth. My issues are with some of my social apps, twitter and tweetdeck to be specific. Twitter randomly makes me re-enter my log in info and tweetdeck seems to not respond to my touch when I tap a post or another user. It illuminates when pressed but does nothing so I don't know if these are RoM/GB related or not. I would like to see more camera options (tap focus and SHUT OFF THE DAMN SHUTTER SOUND!!!! ) but I'm glad to see they got the video working ;)

Overall runs smoove for me...... So far.

EDIT: I don't use 3D app drawer but I noticed it caused a flicker in my apps when checked but when it's off smooth sailing....
[Desire Android Development] remorema:
dont restore data from diferent versions of droid. you are restoring data from 2.2 to 2.3 and it just doesn work.

you can restore apps and it works fine. but somehow if you restore app+data it'll FC
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Wrong.. You can restore all the apps+data you want, as long as you make sure it's not system apps/data.
[Desire Android Development] Hooolm:
In my experience, I can restore Wi-Fi Access Points without issues*, which is the only valuable item to me, as it saves a lot of "hey mate, what was your wifi password again?" questions :)

* Between different AOSP/Sense/Z/HD ROMs.
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
There are always exceptions, but better safe than sorry when helping people, or else they'll end up restoring all kinds of ****, and blaming the rom.

And besides, with AOSP at least, wifi networks are backed up to Google servers :p
[Desire Android Development] JuzzyDee:
It has been worked out and solved. I've not had a bootloop for days since applying the fix. There's a temp fix out there which while stopping the bootloops technically doesn't fix the underlying cause, just stops it from happening, and a more permanent proper fix that will be in the next oxygen release.
[Desire Android Development] matt95:
it would be nice...i'm interesed too...;)
[Desire Android Development] wackymix:
tonight AdamG will share the new version 2.0.2. Hope tobe more impruvments
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Nice pickup :D

(source is twitter, for those wondering)
[Desire Android Development] eGozelle:
i didn't have any bootloop after all.. using oxygen since RC7, now on 2.02 (latest.zip).

i don't know why, i kinda am happy too ;) , since i read so much about ppl having them frequently, even with same ROM, kernel and radio setup.

sometimes i wonder if it has to do with my desire, which is a black edition i got from my provider..

the only thing that occured once, after the sytem being a couple of days without reboot, was some kinda graphic glitches when moving from home screen to apps.. (home screen was visible when the switching animation was running).. after a reboot everything was okay again.

but except that, i have no weird stuff happening..
[Desire Android Development] Audioboxer:
Yup looking forward, hopefully some additions over the current test build.
[Desire Android Development] PhillyPhong:
awesome :F did not know we could follow from twitter
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
A bit out topic, but in facebook message do you actually get the blue led flashing (blinking) !?
[Desire Android Development] wazer1337:
If its any help to coders. I have noticed that my phones led is blue when i recieve 2 messages, im using handcent if its any help..
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
I have just noticed that my video camera doesn't work in High mode with 2.0.1 and stock kernel :(
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Give the latest kernels a shot. I noticed on the latest 2.6.35.11 build there's a reference to adding extra camera support (or something along those lines). Don't know if it's related, but may help.

The kernel has gone through a few rounds of bugfixes/updates, so it's probably worth the update regardless.
[Desire Android Development] matt95:
with handcent you can set the colour of the led...so it isn't a rom feature
[Desire Android Development] bobsie41:
Is there a link to 2.02 available anywhere?
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
Yes there is/was. But they were al removed by the mods because it's not released to public. Hope nobody is gonna post them again
[Desire Android Development] Vuska:
wait for tonight.... Mr.AdamG already said on his Twitter that will be update tonight. ;)
[Desire Android Development] skiddyrow:
I've been using the Ad Block (addblock-etc-hosts-signed.zip) script with all versions of Oxygen so far and it's been working great. Recently I updated my ClockworkMod to version 3 and installed Oxygen 2.0.1 fresh after a full wipe. However, the adblock does not install anymore, due to the new ClockworkMod. The Error message is below.

'Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages'

Is there a newer script I can use or do I need to roll back the ClockworkMod to the old version?

I searched Adblock on this thread but did not find any answers to this.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] bobsie41:
Sorry, i got the wrong end of the stick. The tweet was made 11.00pm yesterday uk time.
[Desire Android Development] chillout23:
Oxy is great, but GPS doesn't work :(

How to fix it?
[Desire Android Development] karmatt:
I just manually extract the hosts file from the zip and place it in the correct place on the phone (system/etc) - reboot - done
[Desire Android Development] skiddyrow:
Sweet! Thanks a ton - works great.
[Desire Android Development] matt95:
if tonight adamG will release the 2.0.2 i can update from the oxygen updater or i have to flash it?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Either should work fine, though sometimes you need to force updater to do a check.
[Desire Android Development] darkmaterial:
Not at all? I've had issues with positioning in 2.0.1 but it always gets there in the end.
[Desire Android Development] eGozelle:
if you are on 2.0 oder 2.0.1 i believe oxygen updater should be fine.. worked for me updating to 2.0.1..

edit: arg, site is loading so slow here.. someone was faster ;)
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
Whats the problem with just trying the updater? If it works ok, if not flash manually.

eGozelle: greetings to Cologne ;-)
[Desire Android Development] troly:
This case does not occur to me :p

Looking forward to the 2.0.2:D
[Desire Android Development] chillout23:
I was waiting for 5 minutes several times and nothing gonna happened :rolleyes: and i don't want to wait anymore....

I will when I'll be back home :) and hope that will help :)
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
I just tried the latest 37 kernel and now neither the photo or video modes work, lol.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Just for info - they posted a fix for the pmem issue in the android thread : http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15135#makechanges
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
Lol, thats why mattman83 told you to try latest 35 and not 37 ;)
[Desire Android Development] :
Why don't you use the PM button and tell *me* about this instead of posting it on here?

I don't suspect it's a widespread issue, otherwise everybody would be complaining about it and I have had no such complaints.

Anyway, that aside, I recommend people use the latest 2.6.35 kernel. I have put quite a lot of work into that recently since Google fixed the suspend/resume loop bug which used to drain the battery like crazy.

Also, 2.6.35.11_r12 will be the default kernel in 2.0.2.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
lol... whoops.

Probably time for a fresh install then when 2.0.2 drops. Make sure you don't restore any system data. What you are seeing is *not* normal.

M.
[Desire Android Development] matt95:
yep,it was only a question...because i've never tried it so i asked...
